MISSION STATEMENT AND OBJECTIVES:

• To encourage young musicians to learn more about themselves through their music
• To provide a high quality of musical training in ensemble setting
• To provide all members equal benefits and opportunities to develop musically
• To provide a program that increases musical expectations from pre-junior to intermediate level
• To provide a balanced musical education as a member of chamber ensemble, and as a soloist
• To promote an understanding and appreciation of orchestral music in our communities

ENSEMBLE DIVISIONS:

Our ensemble is divided into several divisions; the placement of a musician is based on ability and experience – the only age restriction is that a player has to be between the ages of 5 and 25. See our Audition Section (top menu) for information about the playing standards required for each division.

• Pre-Junoir Strings Emsemble

• Junior Strings Ensemble

PERFORMANCE:

Each division performs regularly throughout the year, and performance is an integral part of our program. We perform in Richmond during the concert season. We feature all-division concerts twice per year involving all our students.
